Few come within the compass of my curse
Wherein I did not some notorious ill
As kill a man, or else devise his death
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it
Accuse some innocent, and forswear myself
Set deadly enmity between two friends
Make poor men’s cattle break their necks
Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night
And bid the owners quench them with their tears
Oft have I digg’d up dead men from their graves
And set them upright at their dear friends’ doors
Even when their sorrows almost were forgot
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters
‘Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead
Tut! I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more Titus Andronicus – Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ

A call-back to the singer’s past, possibly, his childhood, which seemed uncomplicated and pleasant.
And winter didn’t feel so cold
And I had a smile for everyone I know
I was starting to get comfortable in the place that I’m in
